Bundle Diameter given Shell Diameter and Shell Clearance Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Bundle Diameter = Shell Diameter-Shell Clearance
D_Bundle = D_s-Shell_clearance
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Bundle Diameter - (Measured in Meter) - Bundle Diameter refers to the diameter of the tube bundle within the heat exchanger.
Shell Diameter - (Measured in Meter) - Shell Diameter of a heat exchanger refers to the internal diameter of the cylindrical shell that houses the tube bundle.
Shell Clearance - (Measured in Meter) - Shell Clearance in Heat Exchanger is defined as the difference between Shell inner diameter and the bundle diameter of tube layout.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Shell Diameter: 510 Millimeter --> 0.51 Meter (Check conversion here)
Shell Clearance: 15 Millimeter --> 0.015 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

D_Bundle = D_s-Shell_clearance --> 0.51-0.015

Evaluating ... ...

D_Bundle = 0.495

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.495 Meter -->495 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

495 Millimeter <-- Bundle Diameter

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

What is Shell Diameter, Clearance, Bundle Diameter?

The shell diameter refers to the outer diameter of the cylindrical shell portion of the heat exchanger. This shell encloses the tube bundle and contains the fluid that exchanges heat with the fluid flowing through the tubes. The clearance is the distance between tubes in the tube bundle and the shell inner diameter. Appropriate distance must be maintained between the shell and tube bundle in order to reduce hindrance in shell and tube heat exchanger. The bundle diameter, also known as the "tube sheet diameter," is the diameter of the circular tube sheet that holds and supports the tube bundle within the shell.

What is a Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger?

A Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger is a common type of heat exchanger used in various industrial applications to transfer heat between two fluids. It consists of a large, cylindrical outer shell (usually made of metal) with multiple smaller tubes (also made of metal) running through it. The tubes are arranged in a bundle inside the shell and are typically oriented parallel to the shell's longitudinal axis.

How to Calculate Bundle Diameter given Shell Diameter and Shell Clearance?

Bundle Diameter given Shell Diameter and Shell Clearance calculator uses Bundle Diameter = Shell Diameter-Shell Clearance to calculate the Bundle Diameter, The Bundle Diameter given Shell Diameter and Shell Clearance formula is defined as the outer diameter of the tube bundle within the heat exchanger. Bundle Diameter is denoted by D_Bundle symbol.

How to calculate Bundle Diameter given Shell Diameter and Shell Clearance using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Bundle Diameter given Shell Diameter and Shell Clearance, enter Shell Diameter (D_s) & Shell Clearance (Shell_clearance) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Bundle Diameter given Shell Diameter and Shell Clearance calculation can be explained with given input values -> 495000 = 0.51-0.015.
